President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that Ukrainian forces struck a Russian military cargo vessel bound for Iran, according to the source. The claim is not independently verified.
Earlier Saturday, Zelensky announced strikes on a Russian warship and cargo vessels linked to Iranian military logistics in the Caspian Sea, as The Zioneer reported. The new statement adds a specific target — a military cargo vessel — and its destination, Iran, but does not specify the location of the strike or the vessel's name. Ukraine has been escalating its campaign against Russian naval assets and Iran-associated supply routes in recent months, with Zelensky frequently announcing new operations.
